A Vienna tailor, says the Richen-
berger Zeitung, wagered recently
that it took more 10000 stitches to
make a winter overcoat. To decide
the question a coat was ordered and
committe ofexperts sat to superintend
the work, as well as to see that no
unnecessary stitches were made. The

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Nashville American.
This session of the Legislature will
adjourn on the 2Sth.
The Governor has signed the Bar
Der bill, the Druggist bill and the
Submission bill.
The bill to fund the Peabody bonds
into certificates of Indebtedness was
killed in the Senate.
The bill to attach Coffee County to
the Third Congressional District was
laid upon the table in the House. The
Republican members fought it to
man, because that county is largely
Democratic, and would make the
Third Democratic beyond question.
The bill for the relief of DIR. Ward,
of this city, was passed yesterday in
the House on its last and final read
ing, by vote of rs too.
Mr.. Wade madea strong fight for his
Dill requiring railroads TO fence their
roads, but it was defeated yesterday
after being taken from the table.
The Commissioner of Agriculture,
Maj. McWhirter, has had completed
his report for 1885 and 1886, and the
same is being distributed among the
members. The report is in book
form, with paper covers, and has
about 800 pages. 1t contains some
most excellent reading matter, in
Guiding anumber of addresses by lead
ing agriculturists on different subjects,
and quite number of fine cuts of
blooded cattle, hogs and other fine
stock. Altogether, it is one of the
most extensive public documents oAer
gotten out in this State, and will be
read with great pleasure and profit.

About an Extra Session.

The question rs to whether an eX-
ira session of Congress will be called
or not isstill an open one. The effect
produced by the failure IF the river
and harbor, the general deficiency,
and other important measures, is be-
ginning to be felt in all quarters.
The work ofreclaiming the Potomac
flats, which has been in progress du-
ring the past two or three years, and
is rapidly approaching completion,
will have to be suspended for want of
funds. Individual claims that have
been allowed during the past year
must await the action of Congress
before they can be paid. The Post
Office Department has examined and
allowed several thousand claims of
poStmasters, some of which have
oeen pending for years. The clai-
mants have been informed of the al
lowance of their claims, and as there
is no appropriation available for their
payment the Department is being
flooded with letters from claimants
each demanding the reason of delay
in the payment of his claim, and it
has been found necessary to issue a
circular letter explaining that the de-
lay in payment is due to the failure
upon the part of Congress to provide
the necessary appropriation.

The high school opened with
an enrolment of 20 pupils this week.
This is very complimentary to the
management of the school, showing
theestimate ofthe peopleputupon the
system of schools adopted by the
superintendent and his corps of teach
ers. With so large attendance and
favorable prospects of retaining the
same faculty next fall, the people
who have and expect to patronize
the public schools, can not well afford
to keep their children at home and
let them lose the interest aroused
and manifested during the last
term. We learn that nearly all the
students were promoted after weeks
close examination. Let us have a
school boom if no other kind of
boom. Make the enrolment 100

1t is such detestable, trashy and
sacreligious stuff as Annie Pixley's
new play" The DeacOn's Daughter"
presented three times in the Masonic
theatre at Nashville this week which
creates prejudice against the stage.
A woman who has made as much
character as Miss PiXley can better
afford to rest on her laurels than cater
to the vitiated tastes of great many
theatre goers by producing such cor
rupt and demoralizing plays as The
Deacon's Daughter" The play is
nothing more than a satire upon the
well founded prejudice against such
trash, is utterly devoid of moral or
instruction, and hasn't single fea-
ture to commend it to a cultivated
taste.

An Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Demo-
cratic members of congress and others
who have access to the president,
and who have talked to him about
the matter, say there is no possibility
of an extra session of congress this
spring. The impression, however, is
growing among them, and with some
it is Il firm belief that the fiftieth
congress will be called together before
the regularly appointed time of meet
ing, probably early in October, in or
der that some important legislation
to come before it may be matured be-
fore the holiday recess. Congress
rarely passes any law until after the
holidays, and it is thought probable

Local Sentiment on the Commerce Bill

American.
The sentiment among the local
railroad men about the Interstate
Railroad bill is that it will provide
for the condition of competition. AS
a rule, they are reticent and prefer to
await the appointment of the Com
mission. eff" said Geo. r. Knox,
General Freight Agent of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis, yes
terday, "the railroads do not meet
the provisions of the bill fully at
once, the Commission will, of course,
let them know it, and the roads will
gradually learn to conform. AS to
the matter of long and short hauls
no man can speak with accuracy
as yet, though Commissioner Fink
seems to have forecast the course of
events pretty we'll in his letter OF Tc-
cent date"
